As our elected representatives, MPs owe us the truth.

And yet, we have a political system that operates as if honesty doesn’t matter.

Will you add your name to fix our broken system, so that MPs give Parliament—and the public—the truth we are owed?

Ensure our MPs correct the record ([link removed])

There is a formal process for correcting the official record in Parliament. Most MPs aren’t allowed to use it. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t be able to rectify their false or misleading claims.

And those who can correct themselves? Government ministers, our most powerful representatives, too often choose not to.

Since November 2021, we’ve challenged eight instances where Boris Johnson has incorrectly claimed in Parliament there were more people in work than prior to the pandemic.

The PM is yet to correct these claims, despite acknowledging his error to Liaison Committee MPs last week, saying he “thinks” he has taken steps to do so.

When our politicians don’t correct their mistakes, everybody loses. But together, we can create real change.

All MPs must agree new rules for Parliament that make it easy to correct mistakes—and sanction those who don’t.

If you agree that your MP should stand up for honesty, add your name to our petition today:
Yes, I'll add my name ([link removed])
Every signature takes us one step closer to the honesty in politics we all deserve.

Thank you so much for your support,

Will Moy—Chief Executive
